- Machine learning algorithms
User Managed Access(UMA) 2.0 - UMA is an protocol written using OAuth2 protocol, to provide the resource owner to control the authorization of data sharing and other protected-resource access made between online services on the owner’s behalf, or with the owner’s authorization by an autonomous requesting party. WSO2 Identity Server currently supports basic level UMA features which users can control through provided APIs.
Integration with Office 365 - With this feature, WSO2 Identity Server acts as the Identity Provider and handles user synchronization with Microsoft cloud. Role based on-demand user synchronization and the group based license management are the two special features of WSO2 IS solution.
